metals
Bonding between elements in the middle of the periodic table tend to be metallic bonding. In metallic bonding, outer electrons are delocalized and free to move, creating a "sea of electrons" that holds the metal ions together. This leads to properties such as high electrical and thermal conductivity in metals.
Most of the elements in the top right of the period table (but not "group 8" - the furthest column to the right) will readily form anions (negatively charged ions) that can then form ionic bonds. Examples are O, N, P and S
Metalloids can form both ionic and covalent bonds depending on the elements they are bonding with. In general, metalloids tend to form covalent bonds when bonding with nonmetals and ionic bonds when bonding with metals.
When two atoms combine by transferring electrons, it forms an ionic bond. In this bond, one atom loses electrons (becomes a cation) while the other atom gains electrons (becomes an anion), resulting in the attraction between the oppositely charged ions.
H + cation => acid
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
Group 15 elements will typically bond as an anion to a cation from groups 1,2, or 13. They can also bond covalently to any of the elements from groups 13-17.
Metals typically form cations after ionic bonding by losing electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration. This results in a positively charged ion due to the loss of electrons.
Mg ^ 2+ :D
Metals form cations, but before ionic bonding. An ionic bond forms from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions. So the ions form first, then the ionic bond.
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
Elements don't have bonds, only compounds do.
Metals typically form cations after ionic bonding by losing electrons to achieve a full outer shell and become more stable. This loss of electrons allows the metal atom to have a positive charge and bond with negatively charged non-metal ions to form an ionic compound.
Sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate is an ionic compound with ionic bonding between the sodium cation and the dodecylbenzenesulfonate anion. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons from one atom to another, resulting in the formation of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.
An anion is formed during ionic bonding when an atom gains electrons and becomes negatively charged. This occurs when nonmetallic elements gain electrons to achieve a full outer electron shell and attain stability.
Non metals generally form anions. They gain electrons during ionic bonding.
